L 0 N D 0 IV, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1809. The Pomona, Capt. LLOYD, is arrived at Ports mouth from St. Kitt's ; on the 28th ult. saw a num ber of the fleet with loss of masts and top-masts, also several of the Jamaica fleet, which had joined in the night. Captain LLOYD counted Go sail, but could not discover the Commodore. Spoke the ship Thomas, of London, from St. Kitt's, the Master said she had 4 feet water in the hold, and they could not free her ; the fore top-mast wa blown over, and tuizen-mast cut away. Spoke on the 291 h, the iris, STRANGE, from Gre nada to London, and the Inca, Lispil), from Trini dad to Dover ; each of them had both their topmast and boom over, and their fore-sails blown to pieces. Spoke the Hero, BEAR, from St. 'Vincent's to Lon don ; she had lost her foremast and mizen-topmast, and the head of her rudder twisted.: The Hero informed Captain LLOYD, that he saw the CaP min Man-of war the night before making te legraphic signals to the Express brig ; her wizen mast gonei, and the brig's fore-top-mast. Captain LLOYD made sail in pursuit of the ships a-head, and left nine disabled ships and two without loss, which had each a disabled ship in tow ; one was a ship with 16 guns, formerly belonging to Scotland, and employed in the slave trade, now belonging to Lon don. On the 31st spoke the brig Perry from Grenada to Cork ; she had been blown over, but her top masts gave way, and, as the gale abated, she righted. On the morning of the 26th saw two men on a wreck, but could not give I hem any assistance. A mail from Gottenburgh arrived this morning, which brings advices from thence of the Bth instant, and from Stockholm of the 2d. It was reported at Gottenburgh that hostilities had recommenced between France and Austria, and that the latter Power was to be joined by Russia and Prussia. The Russian army in Bothnia confirmed to retreat, and was supposed to be much distressed by the want of provi:iions. We are sorry to !earn that his Majesty's gun-,brig Minx which was .stationed at the Skaw as a floating light,•was captured on the 2d inst. by six Danish gun boats, alter a severe aetioit, which lasted upwards of an hour. The loss on board the Minx is not yet known. We yesterday mentioned a report, stated in a Let ter from Nev% York, that the Wizsp, which sailed from thence on the itith ult. had on board dis patches for France, containing proposal; for a Treaty of /Waned between that Power and the United States. Other Letter; fro,e New fork contain a similar statement ; some even go so fat as to state th a t a Treaty had been concluded with the French Ministers at Washington. This, however, is utterly improbable. It is nut unlikely that the French Mi nister in America may have succeeded, after the disavowal by this Country of Mr. ERSKINE'S arrange ment, in persuading the Government of the United States to make some proposals of a friendly nature to France, but we can scarcely believe th..t the Ame rican Government would, from the effec.-t of a mo mentaly irritation, throw itself into the arms of France, without waiting for that explanation on the part of this Country, which the mission of Mr. JACKSON would doubtless sa(isfactorily afford. The Diana Russian sio)p of war which .was de tained and sent into the Care of Good Hope, made her escaper from thence on the night of the 28th of May la.o. Accounts are said to have been received of an in surredion having broken out in the low countries, in the Duchy or Luxembourg. Six thoutand men are said to have risen, and taken a position in the woods and fastnesses of Luxembourg. Great dis content pervades both Flanderi and Brabant ; puin cipally on account of the extreme severity of the conscript laws. The Duke of BRUNSWICK Ont.s is now at New purl, in the Isle of Wight, where he arrived on Alonday afternoon. About '5OO of his brave tbi lOwers are in that neighbourhood ; 800 more are on their march thither ; these being all, ,out of 8000 men, who were able to etl,Ct their escape from the Elbe. The remainder, after reaching the water side, fell into the enemy's hands for want of trans ports. When the Duke of BtteriswlCK OELS arrived, he was immediate's? greeted by. all the officers of his legion, and saw a part of the men from the windows of the Bugle Inn. Colonel ENIMERICK, who lately fell into the hands of BLJONAPARTE, was remarkable for his enterpris ing spirit and great personal courage, and ever boast ed; of his " hair breadth 'scapes," which at one time was truly verified. Being pursued by a virty of light horse, when going, with dispatches from his Commander in Chief,. the late Duke of Bituss- Avictt., rather than surrender, he leaped a: preci pice (with his horse) of 35 'l.?et tall, without reciliv- ' jug any injury, but continued his destined roan.-- ln ration of this bold anclenterprising act, his statue, on his hone, was erected ou - the spot, at Binchsal, in Germany, as a montunect of his zeal wad in:repity. GOITENBURGII GOTTENBURGII, SEPT. Majesty's gun. brig Minx, which was ,some time ago sent to the Skaw, as a Light for vessels to and from the Belt, has been captured by six gun-boats on the 2d inst. after a severe resistance of upwards of an hour. The lois of the Minx is not yet known. Two of the sons of the Duke of BRUNSWICK, ac companied by the Count of NORDENFELUT, and several servants arrived here yesterday from the Continent, and are to go to England by the earliust opportunity that offers, on board a frigate. A letter-has been received from an officer belong ing to his Majesty's ship Alaart, lately captured by the enemy, stating the loss on board t.h.it vessel to be only one man killed and three wounded. The new of the day is, that hostilities have re commenced, :Ind that the Russians and Prussians are to join Austria against France. STOCKHOLM, SEPT, 2.—His Royal Majesty has received the following Report from Admiral Bare:A PUKE :- My last Report of the 2.2 d inst. was dispatched by my Aid-de-Camp, Major Baron ANKARSWEIRW Y. The embarkation of your Majesty's army of 111 Coast was effeeled with so much zeal and order, that on the 22d inst. at six o'clock at night, all the troops, ordnance, and stores, were on board, with out the enemy having received the least intelligence of it, until all our ships and vessels were out of gun shot from the port of Ratan. The embarkation had hardly been completed when the wind shifted to the S.W. with a heavy sea, which became very trouble some to the smaller vessels. " On the 23d, at night, I ordered a detachment of the Queen's and Engdbrecht's regiments to embail - on board the Jarramar frigate, and six gun-boats, and diretied Major HA USEDOLFF to Set sail with the said ships for Petca, in order to intercept and capture the transports, which, according to intelli gence, were on their passage from the-northward for General KAMINSKY 'S army. lily Aide-de-Cauni,_ Capt. Bono, is to attend to the said expeditiOn as commanding officer - of thela - ndr troops. In conse quence of the gale atitting in :be evening, I ordered : Major WEastrg to proceed, with all the ships under. his ofders, to a safe and wore convenient Anchorage. " At night arrived in a shore-boat, a Russiact First Lieutenant, who had deserted from Kath 3 AE 4 a: SKY'S army, in order, as he said, to avoid the un " pleasant consequence of the displeasure of 11, e Com mander in Chief, ,%hich he harj incurred. He states, that the Russian airily which is now evacuating 0 0 country on this side of Ulmea, experience the ot' most want of provisions, and sustained a very consi derable loss in the late engagements, in consequence of which it was on the point of retreating to the northward. On the 24th, the above intelligence wascoutirmed by authentic accounts, which left no doubt of KAMINSKY having put himself in mo t ion' with the whole of his army,' and marching for the northward. " O the 25 th, early in the morning, further in' telligence was received from the shore, stating that the Russia❑ ariny-i - narched through Rictilea, at two o'clock in the morning, and burnt the bridge near that place. Major IVERSEN was ordered by me to proceed, with all the ships under hisorders, t° the mouth of the Unea River, to acquaint General C° l . lll WREDE with his arrival, and execute his orders. •` In the afternoon arrived a Itussta❑ Lieutenant, with several Russian soldiers, who had been left be ' hind by the army, and all agree in stating, that the Russian army continues its marchto the nort h ward. " As several of the Russian soldiers were brought on board •by the peasants, I resolved about 11000 to land a detachment of 2A) men to scour the roads and environs of Djekneboda, Miele several Russian 501 '. diers were picked up and sent On board. "General Count WREDR, who, with the 1 11:141 body or' his troops occupies Umea and its enVituro, • has detached an advanced party to Safvar. Th e . enemy, who still continues his march to the north ward, is said daily to lose a number of his Men through the extreme went he suffers, and should the force detached to Paco •to intercept And capture the transports with troops and provisi°n s ' which are said to be on their passage to KArdiNsicl' prove succettsful in that enterprise, the sitLation the enemy's army cannot but be rendered thereby far more critical and distressing.
